The docent led an exceptionally good tour, and was very knowledgeable regarding the Gallier House, its lively history and former residents. The architectural details were beautiful, and the home seemed to be in good condition.

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour and the gentleman who was our guide was very informative. The house is beautiful.
Lovely tour of the Gallier House

Wonderful tour (I was the only person so it was very VIP). It was interesting to hear about the lives of upper middle class people living in the city during the civil war time… and Susie (sp?) was very knowledgeable and friendly! She even pointed out the areas of the property used to film “interview with the Vampire.” Highly recommend!
Very interesting and worthwhile tour

My nephew and I were looking for a quick tour before our brunch at Court of Two Sisters. We came across this tour and thought why not. And we found this tour extremely interesting. The history of the house and all that lived there was very interesting and the house is amazing!
A Tour to the Past

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and had some great well-themed jokes. This was such a cool way to take a look back into NOLA's past and it was in such a cool part of the neighborhood.
